Kristen Stewart 'Happy' in Lesbian Relationship, Mom Reveals

Good news for Kristen Stewart: she's got a new romance! After her very public split with Rob Pattinson, her mom Jules Stewart supposedly confirmed Kristen has a girlfriend: her personal assistant Alicia Cargile.

Kristen's mom apparently approves of her latest relationship, too. "I've met Kristen's new girlfriend," she reportedly told the The Mirror. "I like her. What's not to accept? She's a lovely girl. What's not to be accepting about her now having a girlfriend? She's happy." Although the two are frequently spotted together, this is the first time anyone has officially confirmed the coupling.

"I feel like people need to be free to love whoever they want," she continued. "I accept my daugther loves women and men. It's OK to be who you are in my world. We all choose our friends so we should be free to choose our lovers." It's great that her mom is so supportive of K. Stew's new relationship, but we wonder if Kristen is happy that her parent is talking to the press about her personal life.

UPDATE: Kristen's mom denied discussing her daughter's personal life to UsWeekly, saying: "I spoke to Sharon Feinstein about my film K-11 that has been put on display in the Hollywood Museum. It's currently there under the LGBT banner on the third floor. She also asked me about my views on gay right, which I was happy to express...never ever did we discuss Kristen!"

She says she was asked if she knew Alicia, but only replied: "Yes, she's a lovely girl." Sounds like The Mirror has some explaning to do!
